perf/x86: Reduce stack usage of x86_schedule_events()
x86_schedule_events() caches event constraints on the stack during
scheduling. Given the number of possible events, this is 512 bytes of
stack; since it can be invoked under schedule() under god-knows-what,
this is causing stack blowouts.
Trade some space usage for stack safety: add a place to cache the
constraint pointer to struct perf_event. For 8 bytes per event (1% of
its size) we can save the giant stack frame.
This shouldn't change any aspect of scheduling whatsoever and while in
theory the locality's a tiny bit worse, I doubt we'll see any
performance impact either.
Tested: `perf stat whatever` does not blow up and produces
results that aren't hugely obviously wrong. I'm not sure how to run
particularly good tests of perf code, but this should not produce any
functional change whatsoever.

Vince's fuzzer once again found holes. This time it spotted a leak in

When an event had redirected output and its close() was the last

Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach
all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context

perf: Expand definition of sysfs format attribute
Make it explicit that the format attributes may define overlapping bit

examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI
change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but
others may disagree.
The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in
the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also
allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all
others.
As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am
not sure if there are any other users of the interface.

prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of

This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with

To fix this bug, this patch changes kprobes_module_callback to

be freed in do_free_cleaned_kprobes.
Note that this calls arch_remove_*kprobe twice on the

perf: Add sysfs entry to adjust multiplexing interval per PMU
This patch adds /sys/device/xxx/perf_event_mux_interval_ms to ajust
the multiplexing interval per PMU. The unit is milliseconds. Value has
to be >= 1.
In the 4th version, we renamed the sysfs file to be more consistent
with the other /proc/sys/kernel entries for perf_events.
In the 5th version, we handle the reprogramming of the hrtimer using
hrtimer_forward_now(). That way, we sync up to new timer value quickly
(suggested by Jiri Olsa).
The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread
events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode
(including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair
share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle
there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing).
However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count
even though cores are asleep.
This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a
per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes
idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on
system-wide events works much better.
The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the
multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into
the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval
value.
In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and
off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is
activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted.
In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of
initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run
before perf_event_init().
The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like
with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another
patch.

x86/signals: Propagate RF EFLAGS bit through the signal restore call
While porting Vince's perf overflow tests I found perf event
breakpoint overflow does not work properly.
I found the x86 RF EFLAG bit not being set when returning
from debug exception after triggering signal handler. Which
is exactly what you get when you set perf breakpoint overflow
SIGIO handler.
This patch and the next two patches fix the underlying bugs.
This patch adds the RF EFLAGS bit to be restored on return from
signal from the original register context before the signal was
entered.
This will prevent the RF flag to disappear when returning
from exception due to the signal handler being executed.

ipc/sem.c: Fix missing wakeups in do_smart_update_queue()
do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop,
semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check
which of the sleeping tasks can proceed.
do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups:
- if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues
must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops
- if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be
scanned again
And:
- the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not
required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be
scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue()
The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero
operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as
possible.

ARC: lazy dcache flush broke gdb in non-aliasing configs
gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a
code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set
the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for
corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed.
So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made
default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias
handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build
